This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does evolution make faith superfluous? Part One of this book looks across the whole spectrum of biology—from molecules to ecosystems to human societies—and at the fossil history of life on earth, concluding that evolution is the only explanatory concept that makes sense of it all. Doesn’t this demolish the core Christian claim that God created the entire universe? Part Two explores whether God might instead embrace that universe with love and compassion, without micromanaging or interfering. Jesus bears witness to such a God in his kingdom teaching, calling Christians to follow his example of humility, serving others, and valuing what the world considers unimportant. This suggests paths of repentance and restraint that are urgently needed in a world facing rapid climate change and likely mass extinction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the century and a half since Darwin's Origin of Species, there has been an ongoing--and often vociferously argued--conversation about our species' place in creation and its relationship to a Creator. A growing number of academic professionals see no conflict between Darwin's view of life and the Christian faith. Dubbed "theistic evolution," this brand of Christianity holds that God has used processes like Darwinian evolution to achieve his creation. But is that true? Can Darwin's mechanism of natural selection acting on chance mutations be reconciled with God's intentionality in producing particular outcomes? Does humanity represent the apex of his creation, or just an erasable and ephemeral signpost along a path still being revealed? Does theistic evolution permit God to intervene supernaturally in the workings of his creation? Can we as humans be made in the image of God if we are just one of the millions of products of evolution? Can we salvage concepts like freewill, meaning, purpose, or an eternal soul within theistic evolution? In this book, Wayne Rossiter assess theistic evolution, and whether or not it is consistent with Christianity and secular science. His conclusion is that it bears little resemblance to classical Christianity, and promotes a century-old understanding of evolutionary theory. Theistic evolution renders God a passive player in creation, so far removed and undetectable that he resembles a mere shadow of the Creator described in Christianity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians throughout history have believed that God reveals himself both through Scripture and nature. The metaphor of God’s Two Books is often used to represent these two divine revelations. The Book of God’s Words is the Bible. Scripture reveals inerrant spiritual truths. These include, the God of Christianity is the Creator of the heavens and the earth, the creation is very good, and only humans are created in the Image of God (Gen. 1:1, 27, 31). The Book of God’s Works is the physical world. Nature declares God’s glory, eternal power, and divine nature (Ps. 19:1; Rom. 1:20). Through the gift of science, our Creator has blessed us with the ability to explore and understand the structure, operation, and origin of his creation. Together God’s Two Books offer us a complementary divine revelation of who created the world and how he created it. A majority of Americans view science and religion as being in conflict, according to the Pew Research Center. Christians and non-Christians alike share this view, yet if this perceived conflict misrepresents the relationship between modern science and Christian faith, then it is both unhelpful and unnecessary today. In Evolution: Scripture and Nature Say Yes, theologian and scientist Denis O. Lamoureux reviews several options for embracing biblical Christianity and findings of science, including biological evolution. Holding to a high view of Scripture alongside an expert appreciation for scientific discovery, Lamoureux further outlines a way to understand passages referring to the natural world in the Bible and also demonstrates how modern science can point toward God. Lamoureux shares his own story along the way, recounting struggles many readers will relate to on his journey toward PhDs in both theology and biology and a fruitful relationship between the two. Topics in this book include: A biblical model of intelligent design in nature based on Psalm 19 and Romans 1. Examination of the ancient science in Scripture, such as a flat earth and 3-tier universe. Comparison of different Christian views on origins—young earth creation, progressive creation (old earth creation), and evolutionary creation. Criticisms of the atheistic interpretation of evolution held by Richard Dawkins and his belief that intelligent design is merely an illusion. Galileo’s peaceful relationship between Scripture and nature, including his view that “the intention of the Holy Spirit [in the Bible] is to teach us how one goes to heaven, and not how heaven goes.” Darwin’s religious beliefs and evidence of the impact that intelligent design had on him throughout his life, along with his claim, “It seems to me absurd to doubt that a man may be an ardent Theist [personal God] and an evolutionist.” Believers wanting to honor God’s Two Books—Scripture and Nature—faithfully and without conflict will find an excellent introduction in Evolution: Scripture and Nature Say Yes.

Book excerpt: M. Anton Mikicic's god is redundant evolved from a free-thinking dad's letter to his two pre-teen daughters, not to indoctrinate them into a secular worldview, but rather inform them about other perspectives beyond Christianity. Written in plain language and containing many famous and thought-provoking quotes, it recaps some of the classic arguments for and against theism as well as reviews some of the most recent work of authors like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens. Mikicic dispels common misconceptions about theism and atheism and provides simple and straightforward answers to questions like: - Is the U.S. a Christian nation? - What are the differences between faith and reason? - What are the benefits and drawbacks of religion? - What are the arguments for and against theism? - How accurate is the Bible? Who was Jesus? Was he unique or historical? - Is religion the basis for morality? Born into a Catholic family and educated by Jesuits, M. Anton Mikicic evolved from an "a la carte" to a "recovering" Catholic and is now a full-fledged skeptic. Always fascinated by philosophy, theology, science, and religion, god is redundant is the result of his search for intellectual honesty in matters of faith. Professionally, Mikicic has worked in marketing and has a master's degree in advertising. He's a member of the American Civil Liberties Union and the Freedom from Religion Foundation. Mikicic enjoys the arts, especially music, literature, and film. His favorite freethinkers include Thomas Jefferson, Mark Twain, John Lennon, Dan Barker, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, George Carlin, Bill Maher, and Julia Sweeney. But most of all, Mikicic loves just spending time with his family, especially traveling to new places, enjoying nature, or discussing what everyone learned that day over one of his wife's fabulous dinners and a glass of wine.

Book excerpt: In God After Darwin, eminent theologian John F. Haught argues that the ongoing debate between Darwinian evolutionists and Christian apologists is fundamentally misdirected: Both sides persist in focusing on an explanation of underlying design and order in the universe. Haught suggests that what is lacking in both of these competing ideologies is the notion of novelty, a necessary component of evolution and the essence of the unfolding of the divine mystery. He argues that Darwin's disturbing picture of life, instead of being hostile to religion-as scientific skeptics and many believers have thought it to be-actually provides a most fertile setting for mature reflection on the idea of God. Solidly grounded in scholarship, Haught's explanation of the relationship between theology and evolution is both accessible and engaging. The second edition of God After Darwin features an entirely new chapter on the ongoing, controversial debate between intelligent design and evolution, including an assessment of Haught's experience as an expert witness in the landmark case of Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District on teaching evolution and intelligent design in schools.

Book excerpt: This debut book boldly seeks to argue competitively in the same intellectual field as famous atheists such as RICHARD DAWKINS, CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS, and BERTRAND RUSSELL, and to do so in the spirit and style of such famous Christian apologists as C.S. Lewis and RAVI ZACHARIAS, drawing heavily on basic science, history, physics, psychology, paleontology, anthropology, archeology, neurology, child development and even science fiction. It describes the evolution of the human brain in ancient hominids allowing humans to eventually conceive a non-physical realm (the spirit world), and as the mind evolved intellectually from primitive animism to Christology, God revealed himself gradually as the developing hominid brain became able to comprehend new ideas. For Believers, the author presents a new, intellectually satisfying way to understand and defend the Bible. For both Skeptics and Believers, a worldview is offered that is spiritually meaningful and scientifically sound.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The false theory of evolution kicks aside God, but now in non-tech terms you can destroy it! You don’t have to be a white-coat evolutionary scientist to know that: • Nothingness did not create everything • That chaos did not create our remarkable ordered world • That blindness did not create sight, or deafness create hearing • That unconsciousness did not create consciousness • …and the list goes on and on. It’s not even common sense! Evolution is merely a way for God-denying people to give an alternate case for creation, that leaves God out of the picture. Why would they do that? Well, to many scientists and others in our self-oriented world, the thought of God “restricting” their desires is not a good thought. Wake up Christian influencers! You now have a common-sense, evidence-based, non-technical way to win against the unfounded theory of evolution, which UNDERMINES God and His Word, beginning in Genesis 1:1. We now have generations doubting the authenticity of God and His Word, all springing out of the false philosophy of evolution – and you wonder why our Christian heritage is slipping away… • How do evolutionists say it all got started? • Why is nature so orderly…and predictable? • Why does it lend itself to classification (Agronomy to Zoology and everything in between? • The periodic table? The laws of physics? The overall harmony and interconnection of Ecology? There must be an “uncaused first cause.” Yes! The God of the Bible. This book will make more sense than anything you’ve read in a while. Understandable. Convincing. Christ-centered. And above all, arming you to DO SOMETHING with these truths to promote belief in God! They insist evolution is the better answer, but never explain why!

This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, the Christian world and the scientific world have supposedly been at odds. Those who strictly believe that God created the universe have had difficulty accepting such scientific concepts as the speed of light, the immense distances of astronomy, and the long ages of radioactivity and earth science. This book bridges the gap between scientific and Christian beliefs by asking the reader: What if both sides are parallel revelations by God? An Orthodox Understanding of the Bible With Physical Science is a mixture of Biblical exposition and explanation of modern physical science, including relativity and quantum theory. The book also includes a chapter of scientific parables for children. Author Geoffrey Ernest Stedman is a retired emeritus professor of physics at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. He believes he owes his life to modern science. Stedman is also an evangelical Christian, who takes the text of the Bible as definitive for faith. He wrote this book out of concern for the way creationism has debunked Christianity in the eyes of many. He hopes this text will remove unnecessary obstacles for the acceptance of the Christian faith and the results of scientific study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's generation, many have resigned to the idea that we as living creatures have evolved from non-living matter. Many have shied away from expressing their true belief, which is often supported by their innate conviction that there is a living God who has self-consciousness similar to our own. Often times these individuals cower behind the false teachings of evolution simply because those who espouse these theories purport themselves as being the highly intelligent keepers of the wisdom of the universe. Many people find that they are unable to make logical arguments for the true fact that God and not evolution is the true creator of all things that exist. In this book, I have laid out some of the core ideas that deal with creation as described in the Bible. This book makes a challenge to anyone who is willing to honestly look at what the Bible says about God and creation, as opposed to what is taught by evolution, and to see which makes more logical sense.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thought-provoking book, born-again Christian Denis O. Lamoureux argues that the God of the Bible created the universe and life through evolution--an ordained, sustained, and design-reflecting natural process. In other words, evolution is not the result of blind chance and our creation is not a mistake. Lamoureux challenges the popular assumption that God disclosed scientific facts in the opening chapters of Scripture thousands of years before their discovery by modern science. He contends that in the same way the Lord meets us wherever we happen to be in our lives, the Holy Spirit came down to the level of the inspired biblical writers and used their ancient understanding of origins in order to reveal inerrant, life-changing Messages of Faith. Lamoureux also shares his personal story and struggle in coming to terms with evolution and Christianity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over two dozen Christian leaders describe how they changed their minds about evolution Perhaps no topic appears as potentially threatening to evangelicals as evolution. The very idea seems to exclude God from the creation the book of Genesis celebrates. Yet many evangelicals have come to accept the conclusions of science while still holding to a vigorous belief in God and the Bible. How did they make this journey? How did they come to embrace both evolution and faith? Here are stories from a community of people who love Jesus and honor the authority of the Bible, but who also agree with what science says about the cosmos, our planet and the life that so abundantly fills it. Among the contributors are Scientists such as: Francis Collins Deborah Haarsma Denis Lamoureux Theologians and philosophers such as: James K. A. Smith Amos Yong Oliver Crisp Biblical scholars such as: N. T. Wright Scot McKnight Tremper Longman III Pastors such as: John Ortberg Ken Fong Laura Truax
